A Little Love Letter

Elevate your dining experience with this gnocchi romaine salad, featuring oven-roasted tomatoes and a sprinkle of parmesan, all tossed in a zesty garlic-vinegar yogurt dressing. A delightful twist on classic ingredients!

This salad shines whether served chilled or with tomatoes fresh out of the oven and gnocchi straight from the pan, making it a delightful choice for warm days. Pair it with red wine or a chilled rosé to complement the tangy yogurt dressing, along with a bit of baguette. Perfect for picnics or light lunches.

Keep the salad fresh by storing its components separately in sealed containers in the refrigerator. It’s best enjoyed within two days to ensure the flavors stay vibrant and the gnocchi retains its texture.

Dive into the world of gourmet cooking with my Truffle Mushroom Mascarpone Pasta, a dish that promises a luxurious taste experience. Perfect for those who adore the rich, earthy flavors of truffles and the creamy texture of mascarpone, this easy Truffle Pasta is a delightful twist on traditional Italian cuisine. Its decadent mushroom blend is sure to impress, offering a quick yet elegant meal option for any occasion. 

You can use broth or stock for this dish. Just note that if you use stock, you will need to season the whole dish more strongly. As always, homemade broth or stock will make the dish taste a thousand times better than store-bought. Chopped truffle pieces in oil and truffle oil are a much cheaper and very tasty alternative to fresh truffles. You can order the products online or in a supermarket.

To elevate your dining experience, serve it hot, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan and a sprinkle of herbs. Pair it with a light, crisp white wine to complement the richness of the truffles and mascarpone. It’s a Luxury Pasta Dish that’s perfect for intimate dinners or as a sophisticated centerpiece for your gatherings.

If you have leftovers, let the pasta cool down and then store it in an airtight container. It can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. When ready to enjoy again, gently reheat it on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of stock or a dollop of mascarpone to retain its creamy texture. This Truffle Pasta delight remains a tantalizing treat, even as leftovers!

GOOD TO HAVE ON HAND

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • large pan
  • large pot

 

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 500 grams spaghettoni
  • 500 milliliters vegetable or chicken broth
  • 100 milliliters white wine
  • 100 grams mascarpone
  • 200 grams mushrooms
  • 70 grams parmesan
  • 2 tsp minced truffle in oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 shallot
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1-2 stems thyme
  • truffle oil, for topping

Instructions

  1. Cut the shallot into very small pieces.
  2. Cut the mushrooms into very small pieces.
  3. Finely grate the parmesan.
  4. Heat the butter with the truffle oil in a large pan. Sauté the finely chopped shallots over a medium heat for approx. 3 minutes until translucent.
  5. Now add the chopped mushrooms. Allow to brown for a few minutes so that the mushrooms turn golden brown. Add the peeled garlic cloves as whole and one to two stalks of fresh thyme and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Then deglaze with white wine and let it boil for about five minutes on a medium heat, then stir.
  6. Now add the hot chicken stock and cook over a medium heat until only 1/3 is left. This will take about 15 minutes.
  7. In the meantime, cook the pasta in a pan in boiling salted water until al dente.
  8. Now add the mascarpone to the sauce, stir and heat gently. Remove the garlic clove and thyme from the pan. Now add the chopped truffle. Stir well and remove the pan from the heat. Add 1 tbsp of butter to the sauce. Truffle butter is best for this, but normal butter will also work. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  9. Add the pasta to the sauce in the pan. Stir well. Now add the grated Parmesan and approx. 150 ml of the pasta cooking water to the pan and stir everything until creamy using tongs. This may take a few minutes. Now serve on deep plates. Top with truffle oil and a few mushrooms.

Embark on a culinary journey with this Lemon Broth with Pasta, Broccoli, and Peas, topped with Parmesan. This dish is a symphony of flavors, blending lemon juice with the wholesomeness of vegetables and pasta. Perfect for those seeking a meal that’s both nutritious and bursting with flavor, it’s an ideal comfort food for family dinners or a cozy night in.

Serve this vibrant dish hot, allowing the aromatic lemon broth to enhance the tender pasta, broccoli, and peas. The Parmesan cheese adds a creamy, indulgent touch, melting beautifully into the broth. For a perfect presentation, garnish with a sprinkle of lemon zest and fresh herbs. Pair it with a crisp white wine or a refreshing lemonade to complement the zesty flavors.

I don’t recommend making too much of the dish and keeping it in the fridge as the noodles will swell in the soup and it will become too thick.

Description

GOOD TO HAVE ON HAND

  • large pan
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • large pot

 

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 160 grams pasta of your choice (I used Tagliatelle)
  • 4 mid-sized white onions
  • 1 tsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 150 grams fennel salsiccia
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika powder
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 50 milliliter dry white wine
  • 100 milliliter heavy cream
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • parmesan, for topping
  • fresh parsley, for topping

Instructions

PREPARATIONS

  • Peel the onions and cut them into thin half-rings. Set aside.
  • Remove the casing from the Salsiccia (or keep it on if it’s edible). Cut the sausage into small pieces and set aside.
  • Peel the garlic cloves. Set aside.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Place a large pan over medium heat and add butter. Toss in the onions and season with a pinch of salt. Lower the heat and let the onions cook down for about 15 minutes, until they’re soft and golden. Then, remove the onions from the pan.
  2. Put the pan back on the stove, add some olive oil, and heat it up. Add the Salsiccia, breaking it up with a wooden spoon so it resembles coarse ground meat. Turn the heat up to medium and cook until the pieces are golden brown.
  3. Mix in smoked paprika, tomato paste, and oregano, and let it cook briefly until it smells fragrant. Add the garlic to the pan – either finely grate it or press it through a garlic press. Put the onions back in the pan and mix everything well. Now, deglaze with white wine, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom. Add balsamic vinegar and mustard. Pour in the cream and let it simmer on low heat. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Meanwhile, cook the pasta al dente according to package instructions. Save a bit of the pasta water when draining. Add the pasta and some of the pasta water to the pan, tossing it all together until the creamy sauce coats the pasta. Serve on plates, topped with freshly grated Parmesan and parsley.
